ref. 46401979, Londres, Nourse ; Paris, Desaint, 1767 ; 2 vol. in-12, veau fauve marbré, dos ornés, tranches bleues marbr. (Reliures de l’ép.). 1 f. blanc, faux-titre, titre, puis paginé de VII à XVI, 353 pp.- 2 ff., 547 pp.EDITION ORIGINALE in-12 parue en même temps et chez les mêmes éditeurs qu’une édition in-4. Dupont de Nemours a qualifié ce livre « d’ouvrage sublime ». C’est Le Mercier de La Rivière qui réussit à enthousiasmer Diderot pendant quelques mois pour la Physiocratie : « Il est le premier qui m’ait éclairé, qui m’ait instruit…Il est le seul qui m’ait donné des idées claires, nettes et vraies du commerce tant intérieur qu’extérieur, et de la nature du commerce en général » (Lettre à Damilaville 1767). « Subjugué par la cohérence de la doctrine exposée par l’auteur, qui avait été intendant des Antilles de 1759 à 1764, Diderot le recommanda chaleureusement à Catherine II puis l’invita en Russie. L’entente ne fut guère parfaite et Le Mercier séjourna seulement à Saint-Pétersbourg d’octobre 1767 à mars 1768. Adepte du despotisme légal qui n’est autre que celui de l’ordre naturel, Le Mercier donna un fondement philosophique à la doctrine économique de Quesnay. Le monarque physiocrate dispose à la fois des pouvoirs législatifs et exécutifs ; il est absolu, mais ce despotisme n’est nullement en contradiction avec l’indispensable liberté économique car le souverain n’est pas là pour faire des lois, mais appliquer les lois naturelles ; faire respecter la propriété et la liberté, telles sont les missions de l’Etat. L’ouvrage se termine par une théorie de l’impôt : le souverain héréditaire est le co-propriétaire foncier du royaume et l’impôt constitue une co-jouissance indispensable des revenus du Domaine » Hasquin. Diderot et son temps n°178 - Lavergne p.183.- INED 2794.- Einaudi 3307.- Kress-Goldsmith 10269.- Janet II p.637.Bel exemplaire avec un ex-libris manuscrit du XVIII e S. « Préau ». Cet ex-libris est rayé et remplacé par celui d’un certain N. Boussé ( ?) qui en avril 1846 a rédigé une note critique sur la garde du tome I. Notes au crayon par le même, dans plusieurs marges de l’ouvrage.

Japanese Internment Camp "Gila River Project" School Library's Book on Flowering Plants and Ferns of Arizona Stamped "Property of Gila River Project School Libraries / War Relocation Authority" c. 1942

1942ref. 233601942. Internment camp copy of Flowering Plants and Ferns of Arizona from the Gila River Project School Libraries preserving the school library apparatus of a War Relocation Authority camp for Japanese Americans incarcerated in Arizona during World War II. The stamp "Property of Gila River Project School Libraries / War Relocation Authority" the "High School Library" date slip and the retained circulation card checked out to "Mrs. Young" on February 21 place this volume inside the camp's formal school system. Gila River was one of the War Relocation Authority camps created to confine Japanese Americans removed from the West Coast and this is one of the materials which circulated within that controlled educational setting. Gila River confined more than 13000 Japanese Americans and maintained a formal elementary and secondary school system under War Relocation Authority administration with separate school structures in the Canal and Butte camps. The stamp in this volume identifies the bureaucratic machinery through which education was organized inside wartime incarceration. Kearney Thomas H. and Robert H. Peebles. Flowering Plants and Ferns of Arizona. Washington D.C.: United States Department of Agriculture 1942. USDA Miscellaneous Publication 423. This copy was held by the Gila River Project School Libraries the school library system operating within the Gila River War Relocation Center under War Relocation Authority administration. 9" x 5" x 2" 1069 pages. The ownership stamp rear pastedown date slip marked "High School Library" and retained book pocket and circulation card identify the book as part of that internal educational bureaucracy rather than a later outside institutional holding. Thick octavo in original green cloth stamped in gilt. The title page identifies Kearney as Principal Physiologist and Peebles as Associate Agronomist in the Division of Range Research Bureau of Plant Industry. Preliminary leaves include a detailed table of contents with sections on ecological factors geographical relationships of the flora vegetation and an annotated list of species while the introduction notes Arizona's exceptional botanical diversity and the absence of any earlier comprehensive manual for identifying its flowering plants and ferns. The camp provenance distinguishes this copy. Gila River divided into the Canal and Butte camps on the Gila River Indian Reservation maintained elementary and secondary schools for incarcerated Japanese Americans and this volume preserves the lending mechanics of that system in unusually direct form through its stamp date slip and borrower record. Because the book is a substantial Arizona reference work rather than casual reading matter its use in a camp high school library points to organized classroom or instructional use within confinement linking federal scientific publishing to wartime educational administration inside the camp. Light rubbing to cloth; text block clean and sound; library pocket date slip and circulation card intact; institutional stamp strong and legible. Overall good condition. An internment camp school library copy with circulation evidence still present preserving the internal educational life of Gila River through the use of a federal Arizona flora. unknown

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DENVER AND RIO GRANDE RAILWAY TO THE STOCKHOLDERS APRIL 1st 1873.

1873ref. 57738Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott & Co. 1873. Rare Early Report of a Major Western Railroad A rare and detailed report from the infancy of what would become one of the West's largest railway companies. The Denver and Rio Grande Railway D&RG headed by former Union General William Jackson Palmer was founded in 1870 and the first tracks were laid the following year. The goal of the railroad was to find an efficient path through Colorado and across the Rockies and then southwest to a terminus at Los Angeles. The company expanded with considerable aggression and speed and before long was the largest narrow-gauge railway network on the continent. This report touts the results in the year since the railroad reached Colorado Springs the rapid growth in population in towns along the line progress of their work natural resources including coal stone lime and lumber various connecting lines and the goal of taking the railroad into Mexico which greatly wanted for railroads at the time the venture into Mexico would prove to be a disastrous waste of money and manpower. The appendix discusses the virtues of narrow gauge railroads and there are also tonnage reports a list of buildings owned by the railroad in various towns brief descriptions of spur lines and more. From 1877 to 1880 the Denver and Rio Grande was engaged in a railroad war with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway led by William Strong in which both companies used political maneuvers physical force and sometimes violent sabotage to get the upper hand. The D&RG continued operations in a variety of shapes all the way until 1996 when it merged with the Union Pacific. The folding map titled "Map showing the Property of the Central Colorado Improvement Company" depicts the assets of that company one of three D&RG subsidiaries that later merged to form the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. It shows the boundaries of part of the Nolan and St. Vrain grants; some township range and section boundaries; locations of major natural resources; railroads constructed and proposed; and other details. Other railroads shown include the Kansas Pacific future nemesis the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe and the Arkansas Valley Extension R.R. The lengthy folding profile shows the route of the D&RG from Denver to Pueblo noting elevations as well as a profile of the Arkansas Valley Branch line. This copy is lacking the map titled "Denver and Rio Grande Railway and Connections" which was also published separately in larger format the same year. A rare and important early document from one of the west's largest and longest-running railroads. OCLC records only five copies at the Denver Public Library California Historical Society the Autry Museum Colorado College and the American Antiquarian Society. Original printed wrappers. Wrappers somewhat chipped and stained two small holes punched in gutter throughout. Ex-Denver Public Library with bookplate on inner front wrapper and deaccession stamps on titlepage verso. Soot-stains to edges and outer margins of many pages but on the whole quite clean internally. Good plus lacking one map. OCLC 71998109 1109396713. unknown

R. and Burlington & Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska. A scarce and interesting promotional for the sale of 1000000 acres of land owned along the routes of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad. The Burlington and Missouri put out some of the most interesting and compelling railroad land promotionals in the genre nicely illustrated with maps and plates and this example is no exception. The maps show the lands for sale along the line of the railroad from Monroe Iowa to Omaha; lands in Nebraska from Omaha to Kearney along the South Platte; and a map showing railroad routes from Chicago. The plates are entitled "Looking Southwest from Lincoln Neb." and "Valley of the Big Blue South of Seward Neb." The text is devoted to detailed descriptions of the land including natural resources soil climate stock raising and homesteading opportunities and prices for land and for goods. This publication enjoyed some success; another promotional issued the next year advertised only 750000 acres of land left for sale indicating that the Burlington and Missouri had sold off a quarter million acres of land the previous year. Laid into this copy is a four-page "Circular of Rates on Tickets and Freight" for several railroads including the Burlington & Missouri. Not in Railway Economics nor in the Eberstadt or Decker catalogues. OCLC locates three copies at the American Antiquarian Society Harvard Business School Library and the DeGolyer Library. There is also a copy at Yale. This scarce promotional booklet has covers lightly soiled small chips to the covers covers holding but loose internally quite serviceable. Overall a very good copy. A.

ORDENANZAS DEL RIO DE LA PLATABiblio.com

Real Ordenanza para el establecimiento e instrucción de Intendentes de Exército y Provincia en el Virreinato de Buenos-Aires. Año de 1782.

1782ref. 8291Madrid: Imprenta Real 1782. First Edition Primera edición. Hardcover Tapa dura. Madrid Imprenta Real s.a. 1782. En folio. 31 h. 326 136 24 pp. 1 lámina. Encuadernación en pergamino a la romana de finales del siglo diecinueve planos con rueda gofrada y flor en los vértices lomera con tejuelo en marroquén y letrería también dorada. Primera edición de las Ordenanzas de Intendentes para el virreinato del Río de la Plata posiblemente las ordenanzas más importantes que se dictaron para América. Las primeras ordenanzas se dieron para los cuerpos de intendentes en España en 1718 que después sirvieron de ejemplo para las de América. Las Ordenanzas definen a los Intendentes en América como magistrados puestos para fomentar la agricultura promover el comercio estimular la industria y favorecer la minería; la legislación general para los intendentes se fue configurando a medida que se iban solventando las deficiencias que aparecían en el ejercicio diario de sus funciones. La primeras ordenanzas en América se establecieron en Cuba en 1764. Las presentes Ordenanzas para el virreinato de Buenos Aires o Río de la Plata fueron las primeras que se realizaron para el continente americano y son la base de las leyes relativas al comercio y la hacienda en América durante el reinado de Carlos III hasta el fin de la dominación española en América. La premura en este virreinato fue producto de la situación de crisis y conflicto que la sublevación indígena había conseguido establecer en gran parte de su jurisdicción especialmente en el Alto Perú. Este levantamiento indígena que se dio de manera simultánea en distintos lugares tuvo uno de sus focos en Chayanta Potosí liderado por los hermanos Kataris el cual extendiéndose por el altiplano terminó contactando con el movimiento de Tupac Amaru y alcanzando un importante impacto en ciudades como Oruro o La Paz. Una de las quejas de los indígenas sublevados fue la extorsión y abusos de los corregidores. La reforma administrativa a partir de la aplicación del régimen de intendencias contemplaba entre uno de sus objetivos acabar con la odiosa figura del corregidor de indios y sustituirla por los subdelegados. Ejemplar con extensas anotaciones contemporáneas en los márgenes y con dos folios manuscritos adicionales. La primera hoja que contiene la lámina con el escudo está restaurada en el margen interior pero sin afectar al grabado por lo demás es un magnífico ejemplar con muy amplios márgenes.

MEMOIRS OF JOSEPH GRIMALDI

1838ref. ST13648London: Richard Bentley 1838. FIRST EDITION Second State with frame around final plate "The Last Song". 204 x 125 mm. 8 x 4 7/8". With half titles and with 36 pp. of ads at the end of Vol. II. Two volumes. HANDSOME FOREST GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY RIVIERE & SON stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with French fillet borders raised bands spines gilt in delicately tooled compartments with scrolling centerpiece within a lozenge of small tools volute cornerpieces gilt titling turn-ins densely gilt with floral rolls and plain and decorative rules purple endpapers top edges gilt other edges untrimmed. Original purple cloth binding bound in. With 13 plates by George Cruikshank. Eckel pp. 140-42; Kitton pp. 177-83; Gimbel Collection B-64. ◆Spines evenly sunned to tan as usual with green morocco faint offsetting from final plate otherwise A VERY FINE COPY with only the most trivial imperfections internally and in a sparkling binding. This is an extraordinarily attractive copy of the biography of Joseph Grimaldi 1779-1837 called by Britannica "the most celebrated of English clowns" and generally considered without equal as a clown of pantomime. There has been much debate about the exact nature of Dickens' role in the writing of this book. Forster said that Dickens wrote only the introductory chapter; others have said that he edited the manuscript with the help of his father; and Bentley has stated in print that Dickens wrote a significant portion of the work. Eckel says "It is plain that the last chapter is in Dickens' style and that other parts of the book are his. Grimaldi laid the foundation for his memoirs but in a rough and diffuse manner. He gave the manuscript to Thomas Egerton Wilks who after some condensing sold the manuscript to Bentley who in turn passed it to Dickens for the purpose of embroidery." According to Kitton copies with the frame around the final plate as here are more valuable than others because of their relative scarcity; the border was added without Dickens' consent and when he expressed his displeasure it was quickly removed. The especially pretty Riviere binding is typical of the firm's first-rate work and use of the best materials. Richard Bentley unknown
